Good morning, welcome back to Classy Classics By Kandis!
I have a fun set of blogs planned for this month! I hope you will join in for the routine blogs of September!
Are you a morning person?
I have always been a morning person! Well I always thought I was. I wasn’t the type to sleep all day, but with that it isn’t like I was up at silly hours before school, or before work.
Depending on how long ago you would like to compare. I started getting up much earlier after I had my kids. The more kids I had the earlier I got up. I assume its becuase the more kids I had the more there is to do lol. The issue with that is that then I have more to do it seems in a day, because I am up more in a day!
With having 4 children at home ages 11,9,3, and almost 2, there is always someone needing help. This year with we decided to keep the kids at home for schooling also. This one is new to me but I am so excited to beable to give it a try!
Comment down below if you kept your kids at home this year!
With having all the kids home all day now that has changed my morning by a 360! What better time then now to re due my moring routine. Our routines have been a little rough around the edges latley as I had no clue what was happening and no point in sketching out a routine for it to not work here.
So as much as it was not my style we just went through the basics of the time and made do of what we could with the time. Now that remote learning has started I feel we need to get our morning routine smoothed out.
A smooth morning can make the whole day I feel. It’s like making the bed in the morning, there is just some silly satifaction of it. So join me as I show you how I set up a morning routine and how to make it fit your morning needs. This will help keep the routine as help it become a habit vs a chore!
HOW TO SET UP A ROUTINE!
A problem that there is, is that a lot of people will want to strong rouine but don’t know how to set it up for their home. A lot of morning routines are the same, but there is always differences.
When someone is talking about their routine, a lot of the time one will just say “oh that would never work in this house” but then just stop!
This is where it will never come together then. After saying it would never work all you do is keep thinking lol. If it won’t work for you perfect, what will work for you?
There is so many different situations out there, so many different routines.
Think of a workout! How many different workout are there?
If not all will work for everyone, then how would a routine set to run YOUR house wok if it’s not set for YOUR house! Don’t get discouraged, just keep trying.
The first thing that I start with is a list!
What are the top things you do or try to in the morning? Work your way through the morning and put those chores in place.
Did you get all the things done?
This is where we play around. This is also only for the morning, work off of your hours not someone elses. This is also a place that will be your schedual. You are not going to use a full time working schedual if you are not working a out of house job. You feel me!
OK lets have some fun! Lets do our morning and see how it goes!
Didn’t get them done?
Didn’t have time?
Wasn’t the right time of day to do that chore?
Don’t want to do it 3 times a day?
These are all things to try to map out. If you are really stuck and just running in circles, sit down and make a hourly, as each hour go through in the morning, write down what was done. Then at the end of your morning look over it. This will give you an idea of what tasks can be done when.
A morning routine is just that a routine. It is something that is the same everyday! This is something that you will be able to get up and just get done. This will also help when it come time to skething out a block system!
STAY TUNED FOR THAT ONE!
Do some looking on pintrest for routines, but don’t try to just copy and run with someone elses routine. It won’t always work because it is just that someone elses routine. Writting out the routine and sticking to it! When you start making your routine, remember its yours! Make it as detailed as you need to start, this will just make to easier when you are writting out your morning chores. Get up, and do what you do, the catch here is either write down what you did each hour, or write down what you DID get done. Either way it will give you an outline to look at.
You can either make your routine on a paper that you write out yourself (like me) or you can print it off the computer. Make sure you have it in a sheet protector either way, you will also need a dry erase marker, you will love seeing all the tasks crossed off when you are done the morning routine.
When I start redoing any of my routines I like to so them one chore at a time!
So morning routine!
What is the first thing you do when you get up till the time you get lunch on, this is the goals you have for that time! Now this can be as detailed of a routine to as basic as it can be. Its all up to what you need. You can simply add more or take more away.
HOW DOES MY MORNING ROUTINE LOOK?
My morning routine is more of a detailed one, as it runs me until lunch. I have a morning routine that I have been working on for about a week, this is how I can make switches and change stuff without getting overwhelmed.
This is how it typically will go in the morning. This is when the kids start getting up, before the kids are up (which the little’s have been getting up really early!)
– make bed -get dressed -hair, teeth and wash face -work -breakfast – kids dressed/ready – kitchen clean up
-dishes
– start lundry
– quick house pick up
-zone cleaning or daily chore
This is a routine that I found will keep the morning chaos somewhat down! Some days they may be done in a certain order, but this is what I aim to get done before noon!
Other then some blogging work that is the what I aim to work on before the kids get up!
The daily chore I have started again, this is just a certain chore I try to do each day of the week. They are not zones or entire rooms, just a little task to keep some chores under control.
So for Monday’s, its to mop, tuedsya is tidy and clean toilet ect! AGAIN STAY TUNED FOR MORE ON THIS!
It is deffently a different year!
With having the kids doing school at home, the morning as deffintly not the same! With them needing a strong routine with their online schooling, I also need to work with them, and their school schedual.
Has your morning changed with the craziness of 2020?
Whether you are at home, back at the office, kids at home or at school a morning routine is a way to get the day off to a good start. Remember for all those reasons this is why I said that know ones mornings are the same. Know ones routines will be the same. It is your morning and your routine!
Have some fun with it, play around. Remeber there is more hours in the day then your morning routine. Depending on your situation there may be many routines in your day!
For myself I am at home, and so I have a morning, afternoon and a evening routine. With some other lists and scheduals still. lol.
Do you already have a morning routine?
Does it need to be changed up, need to switch some things due to the seasons changing or events or LIFE haha?
Wanting more routines?
